[0057] 2. Mount the test specimen onto the test system described in this embodiment:
[0058] 2.1 Install the sample, and zero all sensors before installation;
[0059] 2.2 Adjust the DC power supply voltage of the power supply module to (12±0.5)V to provide power to the assist motor and the angle sensor (test specimen);
[0060] 2.3 Redundant EPS communication signal, angle sensor (test specimen) The angle signal is connected to the upper-level controller, and the angle signal is sent to the redundant EPS through the upper-level controller;
[0061] 3. Preparation for redundant EPS testing:
[0062] 3.1 The upper-level controller sends: a. Driving assistance / autonomous driving correct configuration (driving assistance / autonomous driving available) signal; b. Angle sensor angle signal;
[0063] 3.2 The torque sensor sends the correct torque signal (this sensor is usually integrated inside the redundant EPS, so it is not sent by the upper controller); detect whether the redundant EPS sends an error message. If so, check the sample status and whether the signal sent by the upper controller is correct. If correct, continue to step 4; if not, continue to step 4.
[0064] 4. Maintain the displacement of the output linear actuator, adjust the input torque of the input actuator, detect the off-hand detection signal, and record the load value of the output linear actuator and the torque value of the input torsional actuator corresponding to the "off-hand" state, as well as the load value of the output linear actuator and the torque value of the input torsional actuator corresponding to the "on-hand" state.
[0065] 4.1 Maintain the displacement of the linear actuator at the output end, and input the torque of the actuator at the input end to xx Nm (0.1 Nm in this embodiment). After xx seconds, determine whether the release detection signal is in the "released" state. If yes, record the load value of the linear actuator at the output end. If not, reduce the input torque value of the actuator at the input end and repeat step 4.1 until the release detection signal is in the "released" state. Then record the load value of the linear actuator at the output end (set to a N), and record the torque value of the torsional actuator at the input end (set to AN m) for the last test.
[0066] 4.2 Maintain the displacement of the linear actuator at the output end, and input the torque of the actuator at the input end to xx Nm (0.7 Nm in this embodiment). After xx seconds, determine whether the release detection signal is in the "non-release" state. If yes, record the load value of the linear actuator at the output end. If not, increase the input torque value of the actuator at the input end and repeat step 4.2 until the release detection signal is in the "non-release" state.

[0067] 5. Set the output linear actuator load value and adjust the input torsional actuator torque value to make the steering gear rotate from the middle position to both extreme positions and return to its original position. Check if the off-hand detection signal output is correct.
[0068] 5.1 Set the initial state of the input end torsional actuator to 0 Nm, then set the output end linear actuator to a N, and at the same time set the input end torsional actuator to A Nm. Rotate the steering gear from the middle position to one extreme position, then to the other extreme position, and finally back to the middle position. Repeat xx times (it can be 2 times). During the test, judge whether the hand-off detection signal is always in the "hand-off" state. If so, it is qualified; if not, it is unqualified.
[0069] 5.2 Set the initial state of the input end torsional actuator to 0 Nm, then set the output end linear actuator to b N, and at the same time set the input end torsional actuator to B Nm. Rotate the steering gear from the middle position to one extreme position, then to the other extreme position, and finally back to the middle position. Repeat xx times (it can be 2 times). During the test, judge whether the "hand-off" state changes to the "non-hand-off" state after the force value of the input end torsional actuator reaches b Nm and then remains in the "non-hand-off" state subsequently. If so, it is qualified; if not, it is unqualified.
[0070] 6. EPS hand-off detection test under two-way adjustment of the input end actuator and the output end actuator: Set the initial torque of the input end torsional actuator, adjust the load of the output end linear actuator, and rotate the steering gear to detect whether the output of the hand-off detection signal is correct:
[0071] 6.1 Set the initial state of the input end torsional actuator to (B + 0.5) Nm, then set the load value of the output end linear actuator to (1 + (B + 0.5) / B)*b. Gradually reduce the input end torque value at a rate of xx Nm / s (in this embodiment, it can be 0.01 Nm / s), and at the same time rotate the steering gear from the middle position at a speed of xx deg / s until the input end torque value reaches (A - 0.5) Nm (note that the steering gear should not rotate to the extreme position before reaching the target torque); After 10 s, the output end load is still set to (1 + (B + 0.5) / B)*b, but in the opposite direction. The input end also gradually reduces the input end torque value from (B + 0.5) Nm in the opposite direction at a rate of xx Nm / s (it can be 0.01 Nm / s), and at the same time rotate the steering gear from the middle position until the force value reaches (A - 0.5) Nm (note that the steering gear should not rotate to the extreme position before reaching the target torque); Measure and record during the test: (1) After xx s (measurement value in 3.1) when the torque is reduced to B Nm, the hand-off detection signal remains in the "non-hand-off" state; (2) After xx s (take the measurement value in 3.2) when the torque is reduced to A Nm, whether the hand-off detection signal changes from the "hand-off" state to the "non-hand-off" state; If both (1) and (2) are satisfied, it is qualified, otherwise it is unqualified.
[0072] 6.2 Set the initial state of the input shaft torsion actuator to (A-0.5) Nm. Then set the load value of the output linear actuator to (1-(A-0.5) / A)*a. Gradually increase the input torque value at a rate of xx Nm (which can be 0.01 Nm / s), while simultaneously rotating the steering gear from the middle position at a speed of xx deg / s until the input torque value reaches (A+B) / 2 Nm (note that the steering gear should not be rotated to its limit position before reaching the target torque). After 10 seconds, the output load is still set to (1-(A-0.5) / A)*a, but in the opposite direction. The input torque value is also gradually increased in the opposite direction from (A-0.5) Nm at a rate of xx Nm (which can be 0.01 Nm / s), while simultaneously rotating the steering gear from the middle position until the force value reaches (B+0.5) Nm (note that the steering gear should not be rotated to its limit position before reaching the target torque). Measure and record during the test: (1) After the torque increases to ANm for xxs (3.1 measured value), the release detection signal remains in the "released" state; (2) During the process of reloading the torque to (B+0.5)Nm, after the torque increases to BNm for xxs (3.2 measured value), whether the release detection signal changes from the "released" state to the "not released" state; If both (1) and (2) are satisfied, it is qualified; otherwise, it is unqualified.
[0073] II. Fault Detection of Redundant EPS Hand-Off Detection Function
[0074] The process of selecting torsional actuators and linear actuators and calibrating sensors is the same as in step 1.
[0075] The installation process for the test specimen is the same as in step 2;
[0076] 7. Single-point fault injection and off-hand detection testing for autonomous driving systems:
[0077] The upper-level controller sends one of the preset driving assistance / autonomous driving modes as an "error" to the redundant EPS. It then checks if the hands-off detection function has issued an "unavailable" message. If it is, the test is successful; otherwise, it fails. Each driving mode is tested once, and the number of tests depends on the number of driving assistance / autonomous driving modes.
[0078] 8. Multi-point fault injection and off-hand detection testing for autonomous driving systems:
[0079] The upper-level controller sends a torque request for driver assistance and a steering angle request for automatic driving unavailable (error) signals to the redundant EPS. Then, it checks if the hands-off detection function issues an unavailable message. If it is "unavailable," the test is successful; otherwise, it is unsuccessful. Typically, there are 10 random groups (the number of tests depends on the number of driver assistance / automatic driving functions).
[0080] 9. Multi-point fault injection of torque signal and its off-hand detection test:
[0081] In a typical redundant EPS (Electric Power Supply), the torque signal consists of four torque signals emitted by two torque sensors, which are cross-checked. If two or more of the check values are correct, the off-hand detection function will function normally. The four signals are labeled 1#, 2#, 3#, and 4#. Using a fault transmission board, two torque signals are combined to indicate a fault. If the off-hand detection module displays a normal result, the test is successful; otherwise, it fails. Alternatively, using the fault transmission board, three torque signals are combined to indicate a fault. If the off-hand detection module displays an unavailable result, the test is successful; otherwise, it fails.
[0082] The above provides a detailed description of the m-HIL test method for detecting redundant EPS in automobiles. Specific examples have been used to illustrate the principle and implementation of the invention. The descriptions of the above embodiments are only for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core ideas of the invention. At the same time, for those skilled in the art, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope based on the ideas of the invention. Therefore, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of the invention.

The method for detecting m-HIL (middle-level isolation layer) of redundant EPS (experimental power supply) in automobiles as described in claim 6, characterized in that, Step S6 includes: 6.1) Set the initial state of the input - end torsional actuator to B + 0.5, set the load value of the output - end linear actuator to (1+(B + 0.5) / B)*b, gradually reduce the input - end torque value at a certain rate, and at the same time make the steering gear rotate at a certain speed from the middle position until the input - end torque value reaches A - 0.5; After 10 s, the output - end load is still set to (1+(B + 0.5) / B)*b, but in the opposite direction. The input - end also reduces the input - end torque value at a certain rate from B + 0.5 in the opposite direction, and at the same time makes the steering gear rotate from the middle position until the force value reaches A - 0.5; Measure and record during the test process: When the torque decreases to B, at t1 time, the hand - off detection signal remains in the "non - hand - off" state; When the torque decreases to A, at t1 time, whether the hand - off detection signal changes from the "hand - off" state to the "non - hand - off" state; If both of the above are satisfied, it is qualified, otherwise it is unqualified; 6.2) Set the initial state of the input - shaft torsional actuator to A - 0.5, then set the load value of the output - end linear actuator to (1-(A - 0.5) / A)*a, gradually increase the input - end torque value at a certain rate, and at the same time make the steering gear rotate at a certain speed from the middle position until the input - end torque value reaches (A + B) / 2; After 10 s, the output - end load is still set to (1-(A - 0.5) / A)*a, but in the opposite direction. The input - end also increases the input - end torque value at a certain rate from A - 0.5 in the opposite direction, and at the same time makes the steering gear rotate from the middle position until the force value reaches B + 0.5; Measure and record during the test process: When the torque increases to A, at t1 time, the hand - off detection signal remains in the "hand - off" state; During the process of re - loading the torque to B + 0.5, when the torque increases to B, at t1 time, whether the hand - off detection signal changes from the "hand - off" state to the "non - hand - off" state; If both of the above are satisfied, it is qualified, otherwise it is unqualified.
8. The method for detecting m-HIL (Multi-Level Imaging) during off-hand operation of automotive redundant EPS as described in claim 1, characterized in that, The step S7 includes: The upper - layer controller sends an unavailable signal of one of the preset multiple driving assistance / automatic driving functions to the redundant EPS, and checks whether the hand - off detection function sends an unavailable message. If it is "unavailable", it is qualified, otherwise it is unqualified.
9. The method for detecting m-HIL (Multi-Level Imaging) during off-hand operation of automotive redundant EPS as described in claim 1, characterized in that, The step S8 includes: The upper - layer controller sends an unavailable signal of a driving assistance with a torque request and an automatic driving with a corner request to the redundant EPS, and then checks whether the hand - off detection function sends an unavailable message. If it is "unavailable", it is qualified, otherwise it is unqualified.
10. The method for detecting m-HIL (middle-level isolation layer) of redundant EPS (experimental power supply) in automobiles as described in claim 1, characterized in that, The step S9 includes: The torque signal of the redundant EPS is 4 - way torque signals sent by two torque sensors for mutual verification. If the verification values of two or more paths are correct, it does not affect the normal use of the hand - off detection function; The labels of the 4 - way torque signals are 1#, 2#, 3#, and 4# respectively. Use a fault - sending board to arrange and combine two - path torque signal faults; If the hand - off detection module shows normal, it is qualified, otherwise it is unqualified; Use a fault - sending board to arrange and combine three - path torque signal faults. If the hand - off detection module shows unavailable, it is qualified, otherwise it is unqualified.
